Massive protests in Hodeida support for al-Aqsa, Gaza continues

Hodeida province erupted on Friday with massive public marches across 37 squares, as thousands took to the streets to denounce the Zionist entity's crimes and express unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Waving Yemeni and Palestinian flags, they chanted against the Zionist enemy's brutal crimes, including the recent massacre at al-Tabeen School in Gaza, which claimed the lives of over 150 displaced people. The protestors voiced their readiness to heed the revolutionary leader's call to participate in the "promised conquest and holy jihad," condemning the Zionist enemy's dese cration of al-Aqsa Mosque as a blatant violation of Islamic sanctities. They held the United States directly responsible for the atrocities in Palestine, accusing it of being the primary supporter of Zionist crimes. The crowds also condemned the silence of the international community and the complicity of some Arab and Islamic nations that have normalized relations with Israel. They urged these countries to reconsider their positions and align with the sentiments of their peoples, who overwhelmingly reject normalization. A statement issued at the marches reaffirmed the commitment to ongoing protests in support of Palestine, denouncing the continuous genocide against the Palestinian people. The statement praised the resilience of the Palestinian resistance, particularly al-Qassam Brigades' recent missile strike on occupied Jaffa, as a sign of the Zionist entity's failure. The marchers expressed their support for Yemen's new government of change and construction, viewing it as a positive step towards addr essing the needs and aspirations of the Yemeni people. They stressed their full backing of the leadership's decisions in pursuing radical change. In closing, the statement called on the Arab and Islamic peoples to unite against the Zionist enemy, urging them to distance themselves from regimes that have betrayed their cause. The protesters vowed to continue their support for Palestine and to respond forcefully to any further aggression. Source : Yemen News Agency
